Americans woke up Wednesday morning to scenes on TV of police in blue cities arresting college students who camped on campuses. The action came as Democrats were appalled —
The internal numbers must be even worse because Chuckles the Clown Schumer, the Senate Democrat leader, took to the Senate floor and said,
“Smashing windows with hammers and taking over a university building is not free speech. It is lawlessness. And those who did it should promptly face the consequences that are not merely a slap on the wrist.
“Campuses cannot be places of learning and argument and discussion when protests veer into criminality and those who commit such acts are doing nothing to convince others that their cause is just.”
I do not recall Schumer condemning the BLM riots of 2020. Burning used car lots apparently is covered by the First Amendment.
His denunciation came four weeks after FJB demanded a ceasefire, which is what the students demanded.
This would be the 16th ceasefire in Israel’s 75-year history. The last one was broken on October 7 by out-of-uniform Gazan soldiers who attacked a civilian festival and raped, tortured, murdered and then mutilated the bodies of 1,400 Israelis and foreign visitors. The violations of international law included taking hostage 240 people with Americans among them.
FJB, Democrats and the media, who worked feverishly to free a WNBA player who was arrested in Russia on drug law violations, have ignored the Palestinians kidnapping Americans.
The campus protests revealed to Americans that Democrats are drinking in their Kool-Aid the venom of anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism.
Axios reported before the crackdown,
“Democrats enter panic mode as Gaza protests erupt.”
The story said,
“House and Senate Democrats’ anxiety is spiking as pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses around the country kick into overdrive.”
The story also said,
“Asked about the protests in a brief interview at the Capitol on Tuesday, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), said he is ‘not going to talk about the politics of that. People always have the right to speak out and should.’
“Brown, who is facing one of the toughest 2024 Senate races, later followed up in a statement provided by his campaign: ‘There’s no place for anti-Semitism or hatred in our state or in our country.”
Fact check: There is plenty of space for anti-Semitism in America. That space is at Columbia, Harvard, Yale, and UCLA, where the people who want to eliminate Jews from the river to the sea camped out.
